Sleep-Specific Headphones

Kokoon Offers Thing, Sleep-Monitoring Earbuds Dubbed 'Nightbuds'

— January 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
Consumers who enjoy listening to music or audiobooks before bed may be drawn to these incredibly thin, sleep-monitoring Bluetooth earbuds, appropriately named 'Nightbuds.' The device was designed by London-based sleep technology company Kokoon to help users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer while providing a guard against bedtime disturbances.

Scientists have designed Nightbuds with the purpose of improving sleep quality and minimizing the time spent falling asleep. The solution provides all-night comfort, disturbance protection, accurate sleep monitoring and insights, and more.

“I wanted to make all the knowledge, advice, and tools I learned in the sleep clinic more accessible to the everyday consumer to use on their own terms," commented Tim Antos, the founder of Kokoon.
